The American news is of little importance. Affairs, both civil and military, continued in that same hopeless, helpless, undecided state, which this disastrous war has far so long a period occasioned. A war of defence, a war inspired by some high P . rincip/e, gives nerve to the arm and. vigour to the beart, and electrifies a whole nation with one irre sistible impulse. On the other hand, the sword of the oppressor, as the Great Dra matic Poet has it, "is glued with orphans' tears," and his arm rendered powerless by a consciousness of injustice. If the American war were, in truth, as Mr. GIBSON would fain believe, a war for the extermination of Slavary, how very different would be the conduct of the belligerents and the issue of the battle. As it is, however, the nation rather resembles a set of operatives suffering under that greivous mistake—a strike. Activity is suspended, and a general paralysis prevails. In such a painful state of things, when the strength of both opponents is nearly Equal, when the determi nation inspired by a good cause is counterbalanced by the obstinacy which not unusually accompanies a bad one, it is difficult for lookers-on to wait patiently for the issue, pi otracted es that issue is likely to be, end fraught in every case with most direful results. It is possible that, before long, some decisivs battle may affect the current of events, and it is even within the limits of probabi lity that the voice of prudent friends from without, or a last remnant of reason from within, may make itself heard, and arrest at last the fatal work of destruction. But we must confess that unfor we see no indication of such a tuaately, as yet , happy though tardy result. Among other rumours in the intelligence of to-day, it is said that Mr. LINCOLN has been already nominated by some of the States as the new President at the next election—a choice which does not evidence any very great development of the reasoning powers of the electors. The hopeful anticipations which once surrounded the name of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, and which caused his first election to be regarded such general interest and expectation have, alas been doomed to a very bitter disappointmerit, and the most sanguine of his frien ds and the raost cre dulous of his admirers cannot but be awake that his re-election, were his re-election possibl(.!, could only " astilities, and be a signal for the prolo n g ation of —} another obstacle to the terminati.o' a of this too protracted war. The public will see with consilierable satisfaction the reversal of the Obnoxious d a cision of the Justices of Leigh, in regard to the fa7D ous Sunday haymak ing case. It was only to Io , A expected that metro politan judges would put a more liberal construe- tion upon the case, alt,bough in reality the hay- makers have won the day lLss by an extension of the spirit of the law than by a rigid adherence to its letter. The case came on in the Court of Queen's Bench on Thurse,ay, before Lord Chief Justice CocKEURN and Justices CROMPTON and BLACK. BURN, when Mr. :MELLISH, Q.C., showed cause against a rule obtained by the Solicitor-Gertend last term, in order to remove the conviction into that Court, with a view to its being quashed. The earned gentleman's argument was entirely founded upon the construction to be put upon the wording of the clause of CHARLES ll.'s Act for the proper observance of the Sabbath. The disputed section stipulates that " no tradesman, artificer, workman, labourer, or other person whatever shall do or exer cise any worldly labour, business, or work of their ordinary callings," and the doubt was whethsr farmers were included in the persons thus enume- rated. The question to be argued was whether a small farmer who worked on his farm, as the parties implicated in this matter did, without exception, was a labourer within the statute. Mr. AIELLIsn endeavoured to show that he was intended by the words "other person whatsoever" which follow the list of trades, but the Lord Chief Justice very clearly showed that by the established rule for the inter pretation of such clauses, general terms were under stood to apply only to cases ejusdem generis. It was plain that tha term tradesman could not be con strued to mean a farmer, and, as Mr. Justice BLACK- BURN very truly observed, since farmers at the date of the Act must have outnumbered tradesmen 100 :o 1, it could hardly be supposed that had it been intended to include them in the Act, they would not have been mentioned as well. Upon these grounds, then, the Court quashed the conviction, the matter turning entirely, as more weighty affairs hare done, upon the reading of a doubtful and un- certain phrase.: It was easy to see that the Justices took the common sense and right feeling of the matter into consideration as well as the legal technicalities—yet had the wording of the act been a little different they would have been awkwardly situated. It is true that the paragraph which pro vides for the exception of works of charity and necessity is elastic enough to cover a good deal, still the possibility of such a case as the one at Leigh proves that a little reform is needed in this matter. Had the men been poorer or less strongly befriended, had the case been hushed up instead of being brought before the notice of the public it would never have obtained a hearing in the Queen's Bench. The same spirit which animated the Justices of Leigh is unfortunately but too common. Other acts and occurrences which a harsh judgment might stretch to reach the meaning of the act may give rise any day to proceedings which the real lovers of religion, as well as any one of common justice and humanity, must deeply and sincerely regret. If we are once to admit the principle of making. mer. religious by acts of Parliament, who shall say what construction each may put upon the acts of his neighbour ? There is certainly some alteration needed in the act to pre vent the repetition of such proceedings, calculated as they are to bring contempt and discredit upon any endeavours to promote the observance of the day of rest. Unfortunately, some busy social reformer or other is always ready with a scheme for adding to the restrictions upon the poor man's Sunday—witness Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR'S famous Sunday Trading Bill, Mr. SoMES'S Beer Bill, and the present ca se at Leigh. We do not find, however, that these moralists are equally ready to stop the tradesmen's carts !rom supplying the West end with perishable delicacies on the Sunday. They do not suggest that the rich man's cellar should be locked on a Saturday night and the key given over into safe keeping until Monday morning. We would venture to affirm that the Justices at Leigh would not think it necessary to stop a peer's car riage on the highway on the Sunday, even though the noble lord's airing might be matter of neither necessity nor charity. Al' hat are the poor to think of these inconsistencies ? The effect on the lower classes of all this preaching and practice must be much the same as when quickwitted children watch their parents doing the very things that they have forbidden them to do. Not by mere verbal precept will our working-men learn to value the day of rest, they must see it appreciated by those who are free to please themselves in the manner of their observance, and not be made to suspect that the legislators find it convenient to express the extent of their religious obligations through the medium of other people's self-den ill. In the case at Leigh the matter was made still worse by the fact that it was no idle pleasuring or needless treffic that was going on, but the simple, though necessary labour of getting in the hay, scarcely such a fascinating employment that men should lose a holiday for the mere sake of doing it. It is absurd in our climate to talk about the security of fine weather; we all know that a sudden change in the wind, a cloudy night, will very soon alter the brightest summer's sky. Even with the glowing weather of last season the sudden rains which set in early in August interfered in some degree with the harvest in the north. If any one therefore has a right to a liberal interpretation of any restrictive act, it is surely a member of that class whose services we may disre gard, but which none of us can afford to dispense with. It is very much to be regretted that Englishmen holding a responsible position should have given countenance to so harsh and arbitrary a construction of the law. That they should have done so, even amid the enlightened tolerance of the present day, is sufficient evidence of the necessity of some change that shall put such un just and unreasonable decisions for the future out of their power. The contemplated abandonment by the London I Fire Insurance Companies of all connection with the extinction of fires, and the proposed assumption of these responsible duties by the Board of Works is creating considerable discussion in many quar ters. It is not to be wondered that the parish authorities in all parts of London regard the system of taxation proposed by the - recalcitrant companies for the maintenance of an efficient firebrigade with much disfavour. Yesterday Mr. EL L. TAYLOR called the attention of the court to the subject, and after some slight discussion, the subject Was referred to tho General Purposes Committee to consider what steps should be taken in the matter. N ow , e consider the representati ves o f the rate payers although in wt he rig ht to check as far as possibl e a l l unnecessary increase to the already heavy burdens of the metropolitan population, we cannot shut our eyes to two important facts. First, that it is ab- _ - solutely indispensable for the metropolis to be fur- nished with effective fire brigades and powerful engines; and, secondly, that no legal responsibility devolves upon insurance companies to provide them. Hitherto, it is true, that the combined companies have, to a certain extent, performed this duty voluntarily, of course for their own benefit, for in ;he case of the destruction of insured property the nsurance office sustains the loss. Therefore, the great boast that the representatives of these cffices have lately made of their liberality in expending large sums for the maintenance of fire engines, &c., results simply in the necessary precautions taken to save their own pockets. Of late years London has vastly increased in area; localities which but a short time ago were quiet suburban retreats now form densely populated portions of the metropolis, and it became necessary to increase the number of the fire brigade, which to some' extent has been done, but no new stations have, we believe, been erected in remote districts ; also the jealousy of the officers of the London Fire Brigade engines, dressed in a little brief authority, has hitherto, to some ex._ tent nullified the exertions of volunteer engines (which have, in many instances, arrived at the scene of conflagration before those of the recognised bri gadv), by putting obstacles in their way, and en deavouring, as far as possible, to keep all the glory to themselves. In a voluminous statement published by Mr. FREDERICK HODGES, the pro prietor of the extensive distillery at Lambeth, this practice is very justly complained of, and Mr. HODGES has been induced to give publicity to the treatment that his Volunteer Fire Brigade has experienced at the bands of the London Fire Brigade's servants, because all his applications to the authorities at the head office in Watling-street for redress have been pooh-poohed by the commit tee of the London Fire Brigade. Mr. HODGES very properly claims the same privileges for his engines as those vouchsafed to those of the London Fire Brigade, or any other private establishments. \Ve gather from the report of the select commit tee of the House of Commons, on fires in the Me tropolis, that sat in 1862, that the London Fire Engine Establishment was formed in 1852, partly to put an end to the rivalry that existed between the advertising Fire Brigades, maintained by the different fire insurance companies in London, a rivalry which was productive naturally of good, as well as of some considerable evil on occasions of fires," and partly " for the purpose of promoting and encouraging greater efficiency in the existing force." The London Fire Brigade is simply a private enterprise, and although we do not wish to detract one iota from the credit due to the offi cers and men of this establishment, as a body, for daring and skill in extingishing fires, we cannot see by what right they arrogate to themselves the authority to prohibit the exertions of those who have legally as much claim to be present to assist as themselves. We have cited the case of Mr. HODGES principally because his men and officers are acknowledged to be the most efficient of the volunteer brigades at present in existence. If it were necessary we might mention numerous dis trict volunteer brigades which have been called into existence by the isolation of the localities in which they are situated from any of the London Fire Bri gade establishments. The only answer vouchsafed to the petitioners for the erection of local establish ments is " provide it yourselves." These have great reason to complain of discourtesy from the representatives of those whose interests aro so deeply involved in the protection of property from fire. V e have particularly drawn attention to the treatment of Mr. HODGES and others, partly to show with what injustice they have been met with, but more especially to demonstrate how absolutely necessary it is to have this vexed question settled, It is admitted by all who are et all acquainted with the extent and power of the plant at present at the disposal of the London Fire Brigade, that it is en tirely inadequate for th© requirements of London and its suburbs, while the number of its stations is small, and those limited to what may be termed the home circuit. The expense of maintaining this ineffective force—some £25,000 yearly—is be gradged by the proprietors of offices which receive nearly half a million sterling an nually in the shape of premiums or insurances. Let, therefore, the Metropolitan Board of Works undertake the responsibility which the insurance offices are both unwilling and unable to accomplish satisfactorily. But in undertaking such an onerous duty, let no pains be spared to carry it out in a manner befitting the representatives of this vast city ; let engines of the most improved con struction be placed in every district. The officers in charge of the establishment and the engines must have undisputed access to the water-mains, independently of the parish authorities and the turncocks, so that no obstruction may be placed in their way. The assistance of volunteers would still be useful, but, except in cases of extraordinary con flagrations, their attendance beyond their own localities might not be necessary. We are certain that Mr. HODGES, or any other enterprising and philanthropic gentleman, or those in charge of their engines would be happy to act under the direction of the legal authority, whose duty it would be to show them every courtesy, and render them any necessary assistance. Finally, we trust that the motion so energetically brought forward last session by the member for Dudley will this year become law, and that the heavy tax on insurances may be reduced thirty-three per cent., or from three shil lings in every hundred pounds insured to two shillings, and a few years further on to one shilling. If this is, as we trust it will be the case, the public will not feel the expense of aiding in part to main tain an effective fire brigade. But the insurance companies must bear their share; each ought to pay in proportion to their income no inconsiderable proportion of the expense. If railway companies are controlled by Acts of Parliament, why not in surance companies. Yet if these be obdurate, why should not a Metropolitan Mutual Fire Insurance Company be started under the auspices of the Metropolitan Board of Works ; in short, an insur ance company whose dividends would be divided amongst the insured, who pay for the means of extinguishing the fires, His MAJESTY NAPOLEON 111., AND M. TRIERS. —Of the Emperor's speech to the Cardinal, in answer to his discourse, so much has already been said in all the daily journals, both in this country and in England, and it has caused such profound sensation in all circles that it would be unnecessary here to do more than allude to its effects. It is looked upon by all parties and classes as a manifestation, and a direct evidence of his Ma jesty's annoyance at the course the discussions engaged in the Legislative Assembly, between certain members of the Opposition and the Ministers of the Government, are assum ing. That these offensive, even more than animated, strictutts, will tend to a reactionary line of policy on the side of Louis Napoleon, seems only too probable. The excitement produced in political circles last week was ex cessive, and all sorts of rumours were afloat. One of these, gathered, however, in an Orleanist saloon (which one is obliged for that reason to accept with mistrust) was, that M. Thiers, soon after his first and remarkable oration, had been called in by the Emperor, who, thanking him for the moderate manner in which he had expressed his viiws and spoken of him personally, had proposed, to the old poli tician to form a Cabinet combined of the more moderate of the Opposition members, himself at the head. M. Thiers had, it is said, declined, telling the Emperor to wait, for he had not said all he had to say, and•perhaps his Majesty's feelings might undergo a very considerable change ere the discussions then going on were completely terminated.

The English are said to be awaiting reinforce ments. ROME. A letter from Rome dated January 19, says : Dr. Manning preached the Epiphany sermon les Wednesday, in the Church of Sant' Andrea de Valle. His very appearance, which is that of an ascetic, interests you at first sight, and disposes you to listen to him as to one who speaks with authority. Straight and unbending as a line, he, too, assumes all that he appears to be. He does not ask you to believe him, but tells you what you are to believe and imposes on you a faith, After alluding to the season at which he was addressing his audience, the Doctor observed that he would rather confine himself to peaceful subjects, but that this was impossible, for these were troubled times. First Renan came under his lash, whose books, though they had been dis tributed in the streets, had been rejected by the faithful with indignation. Thence he proceeded to castigate a man eminent in his position, who had the reputation of possessing the most distinguished intellect in Europe. Delicacy forbade him to en large in his remarks on one who assumed to be the defender of the Holy See. A splendid illustration of the power and beneficence of the Church was de rived from the Epiphany of Christ. As he had shed light over the world, so had the Roman Church. The great Roman Empire had fallen, and its ruins were around them, but Christianity had risen over them, had saved learning, and monopo lized the power of the empire. It was necessary that Christianity, which was an all-pervading power, should be represented by a great temporal and spiritual authority. St. Peter had received his power from Christ, the Apostle gave it to the Church, and the Church was represented by, and embodied in, the Pope, who must be a Pontiff- Sovereign. In conclusion, ho exhorted the faithful to do their duty. The entire discourse was a splea did specimen of unimpassioned eloquence. Assum ing his principles, there was the closest concatena tion of argument throughout. Link by link, each thought was connected with the other, and the unwary mind, forgetful of the premises assumed, stood a fair chance of being carried away. In the afternoon there was a very important meeting of the English Roman Catholics to consider and decide on an address to be published to the world regarding the establishment of a church in Rome for their co religionists. From their point of view the wish was natural, as England is the only great country in Europe which has not a national Roman Catho lic church in Rome ; and yet it may be said, if the Church be universal, its rites and doctrines every where the same, where is the necessity of a national church ? I believe it is the intention to restore, or to build, I am not clear which, a church to the honour of Thomas :1 Becket, and subscriptions were entered into for the purpose. At half-past five o'clock 80 persons sat down to dinner in the English College, 40 being connected with the establisnment, and 40 being visitors, con sisting of the principal English Catholics in Rome. After dinner Monsignore Talbot, though it was understood that there would be no speeches made, proposed the health of the Pope—all very proper as the Sovereign of the country: The President of the College followed, and then Dr. Manning rose, and, to the surprise of all, unsaid much that he said last year. At the feta of the Qairites last year, when the anniversary of the foundation of Rome was celebrated, the Doctor excited the indignation of even many of his co-religionists by the terms in which he spoke of their common country. Oct this occasion his tone was altered ; in nocountry, he said, did Roman Catholics enjoy so much freedom as in England. "Nationality," when in opposition to the Church, had always been a curse, but when in al iance with it a blessing, an d the Church had always favoured the sentiment of nationality—it might have been added with one nota ble exce p tion. Lord Campden also spoke, and if his spee ch, which was very difficult of interpretation , i s ri g htl y under stood by me, he expressed his deep s y m p ath y with his Holiness, a hope that he might recover his lost dominions, and a wish that in a body they would go to the Holy Father and lay this expression of their common feeling at his feet. The wish was responded to, and the Pope has promised to receive them next Monday. On Monday last there was the annual " Accademia Poliglotta" of the students of the Propaganda, and I allude to it only to ob serve that the youths who carried off the palm were two negroes, rejoicing in the names of William Samba and John Provost. Their delivery and action were wonderful, and called forth thunders of applause even in a church. For the last two nights Fahrenheit has stood at 28 deg.

AMERICA. (RETJTER'S TELEGRAMS.) (Per the Persia.) NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (Morning). Mosby's guerillas have been repulsed in an attack upon the Federal camp near Harper's Ferry. The siege of Charlston is progressing; 20 shells were thrown into the city on the 7th. The Confederates have retreated from Western Virginia to the Shenandoah Valley. The condition of the roads rendering the transportation of artil lery impracticable, appears to have interfered with the plans of their campaign. New Orleans advices state that the Confederates have concentrated 20,000 men from Louisiana and Mississippi to Central Texas, to attack the posi tions held by the Federals along the Texas coast. It is rumoured that the expedition which lately left New Orleans was destined for Pascaooula, near Mobile. A meeting of Democratic Conservative members of Congress has been held at Washington. Reso lutions were passed that president Lincoln's am nesty proclamation was unwise, inexpedient, re volutionary, and unconstitutional, and should there fore be disapproved of. It was also resolved to prepare amendments to the Army and Navy Bill, prOviding for the pay ment of the army and navy in specie or its equi- valent. The House of representatives has ordered an in vestigation into the charges of official misconduct in the New York customhouse. A resolution introduced into the House of Re presentatives by Mr. Fernando Wood, to investi gate the charges affecting General Butler's integrity in New Orleans, and the frauds committed in the various executive departments of the Government, was defeated by a vote of 63 to 77 (?). Senator M'Dougal introduced a resolution relat ing to the French occupation of Mexico, which was referred to the committee on foreign relations. The New York Herald asserts that the resolution declares it to be the duty of the Federal Govern ment to demand the withdrawal of the French from Mexico before March next, otherwise it is the duty of the Government to declare war against France, The Sad ge and Advocate-General of the Admiralty Court at Halifax have expressed their opinion that the rescue of the Chesapeake was piracy, and that the Chesapeake ought to be delivered to her owners. Intelligence from Nassau to the 2d inst, states that numerous steamers had left for Washington, many of them with cargoes for New York. NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (Evening). The correspondent of the New York Tribune states that three new Confederate iron-clad vessels are visible in Charleston harbour in a forward state of construction. It is expected that these and other Confederate iron-clads will shortly make a sortie against the Federal squadron. The New York Times asserts that the Republican members of the Indiana, Maine, and Illinois State Legislatures will nominate Lincoln for the Presi dency. Resolutions have been introduced in the Ken tucky Legislature—that Kentucky opposed the re duction of the revolted States to territories, protested against the enlistment of negroes, and lamented the encroachments of the Administration and of Con gress on the liberties of citizens, and recognised in them a preliminary step to the formation of a mili tary despotism. NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (Morning). Guerillas still continue their incursions around the army of the Potomac. Accounts from Newbern assert that disaffection towards the Confederate Government was increas• ing in North Carolina. The Confedrates still continue to fall back up the Shenandoah Valley. The Senate has passed a bill to continue the pay ment of bounties till March next. The Committee of Ways and Means has reported upon the amendments to the Internal Revenue Bill, placing a duty of 6c, per gallon on spirits, and of 2c. per lb. upon tobacco. It also provides that spirits may be stored in bonded warehouses and exported without payment of duty, and only such can be exported, as no drawback will be allowed. It is said that the committee will tax refined petro leum 20 per cent., but will not tax crude. The De mocratic and Conservative members of Congress have unanimously passed a resolution disapproving the emancipation proclamation, and favouring a policy towards the insurrectionary States as shall be best calculated to terminate the war, and to re store the States to the Union under the Constitution, and with all the constitutional rights of the people unimpaired. Those persons who rescued the pirates of the Chesapeake, at Halifax, have been held to bail to appear before the Supreme Court. MEXICO. NEW YORK, Jan. 12. News from Mexico to the 22d ultimo states that the success of the French continued uninterrupted. They had occupied the capitals of all the principal States. It was reported that Juartz would take refuge in Texas. NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (Morning). Advicas from Mexico to the 22d ult. state that the French had defeated Uraga, at Morelia, with a loss of 2,000 in killed and wounded. The Franco-Mexican General Tobar had been defeated, near Guadalajara, by the Mexican Col• COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (Evening). Money still continues very active, but is slightly easier. Gold opened on Monday at 52, advanced yesterday in con sequence of an animated demand to 54, and closed to-day at 51t per cent. prem. The advance is attributed to the continued increase in the excess of the imports over th exports, and to anticipation of a large export of specie. Ex change on London, bankers' bills, 169 ; on Paris, 3.30. There was considerable excitement in the stock market yesterday, with a large rise in some of the western rail. roads. Stocks continued to advance to-day. York Cen trals were quoted at 133 ; Illinois Centrals, 123; Erie, 139 i ; Six per Cent. ,United States Bonds, 1041. Cotton advancing—middling Upland, 81c to 81tc. Flour very firm. Wheat advancing. Corn slightly firmer. Provi sions rising. Coffee quiet. Sugar steady. Molasses good inquiry. Petroleum steady—crude, 31c to 32c ; refined 46c to 47e. GALWAY, JAN. 23. The Atlantic Royal Mail steamer Adriatic, from Boston, arrived here at 9 a.m. to-day. She brings 32 cabin and 20 steerage passengers, and 21 sacks of mails. She was unable to call at St. John's in consequence of the fog. Her news has been fully anticipated. Duke Charles of Glucksburg. The following telegrams have been forwarded to us through Renter's agency. Like the first state ment, from the same source, which we yesterday contradicted, they are concoctions of the Augusten burg faction, and are utterly unreliable : HA➢IBURG, JAN. 22. " The Duke Charles of Gluckeburg, elder brother to the King of Denmark, has refused the oath of allegiance under the following circumstances:— " In November last the duke, with other landed proprietors of Schleswig, refused to take the oath of allegiance to the King. Subsequent to this refusal he was induced, while in Copenhagen, to sign a document containg the required oath, under the promise t hat no proceedings should be taken against the other persons who had refused in con junction with him to take the oath, On finding, however, that this promise was not kept, Duke Charles asked that the document should be returned to him ; this having been done ho destroyed it, thus virtually refusing the oath. " COPENHAGEN, Jan. 22 (Evening). " It has been stated, as proof of the good under standing subsisting between the King and his brother, Duke Charles of Glucksburg , that the latter was present at the banquet recently given to the Rigsdag. This statement is false. The duke was not present at the banquet, and was not even in Copenhagen on that day." LITERATURE. Eton School Days. By an Old Etonian. One Vol., pp. 316. Maxwell and Co. A capital work, this is—and one that we have found thoroughly enjoyable. It is nothing more than it affects to be: namely, a narrative of school- boy life, told in a gay, helter-skelter, rollicking schoolboy fashion. Here and there, in the manner of it, there is a touch of affectation—a rather powerful flavour of the sesquipedalia verba. Occa- sionally the schoolboy slang is wonderful in its truthfulness—the odd little phrase (picturesque, almost poetical, like the gipsy slang fami liar to the glib tongue of Harrison Ains worth's Paterers, of which perfection of slang the Romany Rye is the incomparable master piece)—precisely the right word in the shape of some odd little phrase of the schoolboy lingo drop- pinginto its place, at times,with a sort of aplomb that is quite delightful. There is something, in fact, so thoroughly boy like in the whole performance— . something so racy of the schoolroom and the play ground—that we should almost be tempted to re gard the book as the performance of a Young Etonian instead of an Old Etonian. Oaly—that, in ,hat case, the writer would have to be regarded as some such hardly conceivable lusus naturce as a humouristic Chatterton. An Old Etonian, as the author calls himself upon his title-page, if he be old at all, must certainly be what you would call a genuine Old Boy—one of those warm-hearted creatures, gifted in temperament with a shadowy semblance of immortal youth, but having a decided tendency, in the body, to that dread of dandies, that result of constitutional laughter—corpulence ! Sometimes, or rather it should be said, in some few particulars, the puerile diction put into the mouths of the interlocutors, will be found to have rather a tedious leaning to iteration. The changes are • r ung, for example, usque ad nauseam, upon several pet schoolboy words most fantastically applied, according to the wont of boys. As, par exemple, when the young hero of the narrative, But ler Burke, talks, in a rapture of admiration, about Charley's sister Constance being " awfully pretty" —or again, as where another urchin speaks of an opposing player at football, playing " beastly well." Etonian Life in all its varieties—in its " ins" (even spelling those with a double n), no less than in its "outs" (indulged in, some of those, at no inconside rable risk of a sound switching afterwards, when caught)—Etonian Life, both high and low, from the head master to the itinerant vendor of tarts, from the Swell Coileger down to the veriest brat of an Oppidan, from the mere child who fags up to that terrible being the hobbedehoy who fags him! To a certain extent, in a lighter, in a more super ficial, not to say it invidiously, in a more frivolous way, the work, so far as it goes, is of the genus of which " Tom Brown's Schooldays" is the most ini mitable of exemplars, the very chef d'oeuvres! as in Tom Brown's Schooldays, here in Eton bchool- days, we have an account of a Football Match. Bu whereas the Rugby football match, as described by Mr. Thomas Hughes, has about it a Homeric sweep of vicissitudes,' a sort of epic importance — our author's account of the Eton Football Match is more of the Tom Crib character, than either the Tom Brown or the TOM Hughes. It is admi rably well done, nevertheless—it is full of life and animation. Only—it comes second ; and, therefore, it comes off by comparison second best. Butler Burke is a lesser, shorter, stouter, " nub blier" sort of a blundering Tom Brown in his way. A thorough boy—a boy full of impulse, with a good deal of passion about him as well as impetuosity, plenty of affection, some humour, lots of pluck, a spice of mischief; and an unmistakeable tendency to dare-devilry. The Bad Boy, the very Bad Boy of the book—and yet with redeeming traits, too, about him—is Edmund Chorley, Thief, in some sense Sneak, also Liar, ditto Bully, ibid Traducer, and so forth through a nice little hotly peppered catalogue of vices. Vices more odious almost in the boy than in the adult, and this* is because so grossly in ante gonism_to what is so charming as the dominant characteristic of boyhood—frank, bold, uncompro mising, instant ingenuousness. 'rue friend, the chum, the alter• ego of 'Butler Burke is his cousin Reginald Purefoy—tho Good Boy of the story. Constance Chorley, the Bad Boy's sister, we have a glimpse or two of, as the little heroine of the tale. Mr. Wynne, the Tutor, is charmingly sketched, being a favourable specimen of a Master at Eton—just precisely what a Master at a College like Eton ought to be. A scholar and a gentleman, every inch of him, entitled to be loved as well as to be respected. One preposterous flaw there is in the book, and that flaw a whole chapter. Of all the ab surdities we ever remember to have seen perpe trated by any story-teller gifted with a lively, not to say skittish, imagination, this is the most ridiculous. Chapter the twenty-fifth it is— entitled, with almost impertinent significance, "H.R.H." The impertinence of it, in truth, almost, as one may say, amounts to the heinousness of leze naajeste. Will it be believed that the incident this chapter undertakes (in the coolest and most off-hand manner imaginable) to relate, brings upon the scene—that scene, now the gardens, now the terraces, now the drawing-rooms of Windsor Castle—her Majesty the Queen, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, and H.R.H. Prince Alfred ! These being revealed to us in familiar converse with the two Eton Boys, one of them Butler Burke, the other his school companion the Boy Earl of Horsham. In such familiar intercourse with their Royal Highnesses, indeed, that we have them actually skylarking together—the Princes "boneing" (there is no other word for it) the hats of the two young gentlemen from Eton, and after boneing them, and running off with them, absolutely turning the said hats into a couple of impromptu footballs ! Nay, nor is that the whole of this outrageous and audacious extravagance—we have Butler Burke's boy-com panion chasing the Heir Apparent within an inch of his life, as one may say, along the terrace to one of the garden entrances to the Castle, and there, just upon the threshold, " bonnetting" his Royal Highness, or, at any rate, knocking the Prince of Wales's own hat off in retaliation. Her Majesty the Queen, after this, actually complimenting the Etonian upon his performance and requiring H.R.H. to apologize. The whole thing is as bizarre, as improbable, we repeat it, as utterly preposterous as anything that was ever penned by way of afford ing a reader a surreptitious peep into a palace. Apart from this one nonsensical chapter, the de scription here given by an Old Etonian of Eton School-days, under all their phases, whether of fun or tribulation, is a delightful effusion—pleasantly drawn, for the most part, we should imagine, less from the writer's fancy than from some of his most dearly cherished recollections of what Eton School-days were in his own experience.
